Twenty contestants took part in the selection, which was broadcasted live on the Maltese national TV station (TVM). All the twenty singers performed one cover version of a song of their choice. Destiny, last year's Junior Eurovision winner was also present and performed some of her songs.

The song that Christina will sing for Malta is still to be decided.

The Junior Eurovision Song Contest will take place on the 20th November 2016 in Valletta, Malta.
